Actually, you’re letting those that you send to know that the e-mail has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software and that it’s safe. There’s nothing unprofessional about being concerned for others’ cyber-security.

Most important is "know what you're looking for... pick a target." Several years ago I was rummaging through a roommate's computer - mostly because it was there and I was bored - but I had no real agenda other than being nosey. I was not prepared for what I found and I will never casually snoop again.

My mum caught me spatchcocking one time. She loved it!

Watch out when putting dirty cast iron in a self cleaning oven. Many newer ovens have a safety lock that won't open when the oven is hot. If your dirty pan catches fire, you may have a problem.

You're probably looking in the wrong place. Oddly enough, lard is usually located in the refrigerated section with the dairy stuff. Weird, huh?

When we looked at the Chromecast, we determined it was worth the $35. However, if you have an Android phone or tablet, you can turn it into a Chromecast for free with an app called CheapCast.

FYI - I purchased one last week (TX-NR515 model) and find that the zone 2 speakers will only play from an analog input. All those HDMI inputs and they're not sent to zone 2? Really a bummer since that's my kitchen/patio. It's not as big an issue for a set-top box since they usually also have analog outputs, but if I'm…

I'm pretty sure you're the guy I work with who's last day at work was today. That lunch we were obligated to take you to will be nothing in comparison to the celebration we have next week... after you're gone. You think you know everything (well, at least you claim to), but you're actually just a dick. Have a nice…

And by non-native I assume you mean non-native in speaking, say, String Theory.

I would guess there are many folks out there who already use these various MS programs, but would like to learn how to use them better. Seems like it a valid attempt to fill a need and isn't "pointless."

James, you realize that's the customary method of tipping the housekeeper, don't you? That means you're stiffing the room server.

I totally second the jackass comment.

The standard in bars is a buck *minimum* per drink with normal tipping customs applied after that. The well drinks are right at the bartender's hands so a buck is normally fair. Any call liquors, special drink concoctions, multiple liquors - those things require an honorable person to tip on the standard scale. Oh,…

But Hank Hill does!

Hmmmm. It might come in when camping or after that long flight.

Surprised I haven't seen this tip yet but, if you are renting, take photographs of everything before you move your stuff in. The carpets, the walls, the light fixtures, the *inside* of the refrigerator... you get the idea. If there is ever disagreement on the condition of the unit or what damage already existed, this…

What is this "checkbook register" of which you speak? ;-)

I second the reddit article. "Easy enough for a 3-year-old to understand."

Looks even easier than that foil cutter I've been using all this time.

How many major metro areas does the average person need at one time? I would guess about one - maybe two or three while traveling.
